Member Testimonials
I like the atmosphere and the motivation that carries from one member to the other.
The programs benefit every age group which is awesome.
I think Kevin, the branch manager is a great person. He’s always trying to do stuff around the facility. He’s one of the few branch managers that I’ve seen use a vacuum and clean around the floors to say the least.
Equipment is very nice
I love the great class options and the laidback, family vibe!
I go to Southside YMCA because it is smaller and the staff know me by name.
It would be nice if someone could take a look at the electrical outlets in the women's bathroom. Only 1 outlet seems to work with a blowdryer. The other outlets are lose so the blowdryers don't stay plugged in. This makes it difficult when people work out in the mornings before work and get dressed at the gym.
Without Kids Zone, I would not be able to workout. This is so helpful. I love it. My favorite workouts are Spinning. Cissy’s classes are awesome! The facility is clean and well organized. The people who work and workout there are great- friendly, nice and helpful!!
The group classes are great. Jo is the BEST teacher. She is a great motivator and really cares about how you're doing in her classes.
The staff is very nice and the facility is always clean.
I like the variety of programs offered BUT the staff at C.B. Pennington Jr YMCA are what I like best. Their welcoming and friendly manner make it so easy to participate and their attitude is also reflected by the membership in general. A great place to workout and visit.
The variety of programs offered, the staff is very friendly and helpful. They always greet me with a warm mile and a friendly hello.
Variety of fit classes for every level, affable and helpful instructors, friendly staff, clean facilities, ample strength training and aerobic equipment.
I appreciate the child care and the women who run it- its a huge help for moms. I also like that multiple activities take place under one roof- its a work-out gym, a kids basketball game venue, a place to do pilates, swim or sit and chat with fellow patrons after any activity. I am grateful that the Y is a place for all ages and incomes to come together!
Availability of exercise equipment and pool. Variety of exercise classes available. Friendliness of the staff.
Yoga
Clean and friendly!
Good staff and good equipment and good price
I love the people both staff and members!
friendly staff and lots of classes to choose from
In particular, I like the "feel" of the Southside Y. It fits my personality well. I have tried some of the other area Ys but they are not as "comfortable" for me. The equipment and facilities at Southside meet my needs and are generally available. This is important to me since I prefer not attend structured classes.
I LOVE the Y. I wish the women's locker room had things like ponytail holders, bobby pins, tampons/pads, Q-tips....just a few things that would be helpful that may have been forgotten when packing the gym bag! I go every morning and love the staff and the members that I am there with. Everyone is so friendly!
Maybe you guys should update the lifting equipment! A platform or two, maybe another squat rack! It would be AWESOME to see this place get an upgrade.
I love the variety of classes (although I would love it if there were a Barre class!) and the great teachers. Most of all the diversity of the membership.
The variety of exercise classes & the friendliness of staff & members.
I love the classes and pools
I love it. It is a good place to exercise. I recommend a lot of my colleagues.
They have a lot to offer fitness equipment, fitness classes and extracurricular activity sports for the kids. Only thing, I don't like that since the flood the gym still is so small and nothing is being done to put it back in order.
Good equipment and helpful, friendly staff and people. Always happy to help.
Familiarity with the place and high regard for the staff
The YMCA Americana is AMAZING! They provide numerous opportunities for the STAY AT HOME mom as well as the MOM ON THE GO! There are numerous opportunities to exercise and get into shape. Whether you like to exercise on your own or join a class offered by the Y, such kickboxing or yoga. They also provide great extracurricular activities for kids. Their childcare facility is great and the extracurricular activities such as cheerleading and soccer have been life changing for my children. YMCA Americana is where you want to be!
Very friendly and helpful staff, constant upgrade/maintenance of facilities, a tremendous variety of programs and equipment, almost the best tennis facility in the city, and a great place to not only exercise but spend time with friends.
Great instructors Light & Low Lisa and Mary in Pilates. Clean location. Friendly people to work out with. I have recently recommended these classes to my sister in law. She wants to join, too.
